The undated photo taken by a netizen shows China's stealth fighter J-20 during a test flight in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province. Recently, China's three types of advanced fighters, namely J-20, J-10A and FC-1 Xiaolong, conducted frequent test flights over the southwestern city of Chengdu, according to huanqiu.com.

Why do the J-10A or JF-17 Block I need tests?

Why do the J-10A or JF-17 Block I need tests?

New avionics, sensors, engines, fuel blend, or some other subsystem. I remember one of the J-10A tests involved the new parachute recovery system attached to the rear of the fighter.

J-10A is now equipped (first seen in june) with twin-rail launchers, we will most likely see J-10B with same soon.

How are JF-17 and J-10 new fighters?

New avionics, sensors, engines, fuel blend, or some other subsystem. I remember one of the J-10A tests involved the new parachute recovery system attached to the rear of the fighter.

I do remember that some J-10As are now being equipped with phased array radar. Maybe those tests are to debug them?

The PL-12 looks somewhat mis-proportioned on the J-10.

In the last Pic, J-7E, i noticed something about it's engine, looks chinese to me, Is it WS-13? and also is it the stealth J-7 chinese are talking about?

The FC-1 in the above pic is JF-17. It has PAF roundel. Is the pic posted by mistake or is it really JF-17. There has been a debate over PT04 and PT06 with the latter being in China.

Stealth J-7? That is hardly possible and with what I can see from the photo it has no visible RCS reducing redesigns at all.

And I would imagine the Chinese would put their WS-13 engine on their newer fighters first, like the JF-17 Block II.

Why a J-7 alongside a J-20, is the military base also there?

 

[monitor]

All are old fighter may be they are on test for new sub system on them .

The J-7E belonged to the factory, it is used for testing purpose.
